Book Review - DC Comics Supergirl, Daughter of Krypton

About the Book
Who is Supergirl? How did she become a powerful Super Hero? What powers does she use to fight for what is right? Who are her toughest allies and fiercest foes? In this biography--complete with black-and-white illustrations, timelines, and character profiles--young readers will delight in learning the complete history of the Girl of Steel.

My Take on the Book
Daniel Wallace has written a chapter book that introduced Supergirl to the readers. I thought it was interesting how she is the cousin of Superman and used to babysit him when they both lived on the planet of Krypton. Supergirl, like Superman , was sent to Earth because Krypton was destroyed. Their parents sent them. So as the story continues and Supergirl finds out she has powers, she must also find a way to live on Earth.

The story line is full of adventures as Supergirl meets some enemies and friends. She actually finds friends on Earth who have super powers like her.The story shows how she begins to adapt to life on Earth and her life with a super friend in an apartment in New York.

The illustrations are so detailed. Each new character is introduced with an illustration and explanation of who they are and if they are a friend or foe.

If you enjoy reading about super heroes and adventure stories, this a new book for you to look at for your library.
